A boost for the corn show is a boost for Adams county, for it is a boost tor the greatest product raised here, the crop on which our farmers largely profit. The show will be held here next week. Every farmer should participate and every citizen should attend. * Statistics just given out show that of the many hundred thousand automobiles sold last year, more than half of them were sold to farmers, conclusive evidence that times in this country are good, for times have to be good here when the farmers are prosperous. It has been decided that the names of each political party must be printed on one long ballot, which may be several yards long where there are a number of candidates for each office. Where there are four or more candidates for one office the names are rotated, that is on a proportionate share of the tickets each candidate’s name appears first. , , The rule or ruin policy of the progressives which means Theodore Roosevelt doesn’t just exactly suit everybody, especially when they stop to think that it may mean the p’lupging of this country in war without cause. There are many things to be ironed out before the republican and k progressive delegates who meet in Chicago at the same time, hold a love feast. — r ~~ , « Tiie Daily Iron Trade, a republg.au trade journal, that has nothing good to say of President Wilson or his ade ministration, contains a long list of items that prove better than can any other .argument that times are the best ever knowm in this country. Note a few of them: “The Reading railroad shops have less than 1,000 cars in storage out of 44,000; The General Electric company has for five weeks averaged taking orders of $3,000,000 a week; Cincinnati built buildings valued at more than $14,000,000 in 1915; The Packard Motor Car company has orders booked that will keep them running day and night to June Ist; The Cambridge Steel company has increased the wages of all men ten per cent; C. A. Starbi:.* president of the New York Air Brake company, says he has never seen a more sound foundation than exists in this country at present.” Some prosperity.

DID GOOD WORK “I’m Sleeping Like a Baby Each Night Now,” Warren Beher Declares. TANLAC GETS CREDIT Alexandria Man Says He Can’t Speak Too Highly of Master Medicine. Alexandria, Ind,, Jan. 14 —The name of another well known Alexandria man . was added to the long list of firm friends of Tanlac when Warren Beher, a well known farmer, who lives on rural route No. 19, Alexandria, told :of his experience with the Master Medicine a few days ago. He said: "I have suffered with kidney and liowel troubles for seven years. My stomach Usually was in disorder, gas frequently accumulating, and 1 also suffered from dyspepsia. I was so nervous it seemed impossible for me to sleep, and I simply couldn’t stand the least noise. “I heard of Tanlac ’through the newspapers hgtd decided to try it. Be- . fore the first bottle was gone I no- ; tlced a big improvement. I was given almost immediate relief from the gas on my stomach and I do not suffer the severe pains I experienced before taking the medicine. Yes, generally, my condition has been greatly improved. I’m sleeping like a baby now.” * “Tanlac certainly does the work for which it is recommended and I hope others will try it. I can’t speak too highly for the medicine.” Tanlac, the Master Medicine, that is being taken with beneficial results by thousands of residents of the Hoosier state, is excellent as a tonic, blood purifier and system builder. It also is especially benefidial for stomach, liver and kidney trouble, rheumatism, catarrhal complaints, and the like. Tanlac is now sold exclusively in [Decatur at Smith.
